How I closed my first freelance contract at 28K; breakdown inside!

I am in my final year of college in my home town so i live with my parents, unplaced and no paid internships on my resume, but some how via cold outreach, my second lead converted, and I just got paid 20% the sum to develop a website for a dental clinic in Australia! It is not a big sum at all, but it's half of my college fee for the last sem, and now I feel like I can use this strategy to land more clients!!, I was feeling completely worthless but now I feel on cloud nine, and not worthless.

The strategy I used:
found dental clinics in Australia via google maps, and made a little demo using HTML,CSS,JS. Then they liked the demo, sent them a paypal link, they sent 20% of the payment. It's not a big sum to them but now I am so happy to be building the full website.

I think the key is to not send vibecoded websites, as businesses can easily spot them these days. Spend some time to actually learn web dev and build real websites. Design inspo can be taken from dribbble.
